re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' Thursday, February 27, 2003 at 1:40 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Calliander (72 messages posted) 9x is used to describe the three visually similar operating systems: 95, 98 and ME. The x is to indicate that your machine has 95 or 98, x being 5 or 8. ME is included in this category because it is visually and functionally the same as 95 and 98. All three run using the same architecture (DOS-based). Windows 2000 and XP machines run off of the NT architecture, which is visually similar, but functionally different. That's why a lot of older games either don't work or work poorly on 2000 and XP and some not at all on NT. Hence the question: "Are you using a 9x machine or an NT machine?" Hope that helps!
